Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] RHEL 3 updates and OSCAR 4.1
Hello Bernard:
OSCAR 4.1 did _not_ work for me with
RHEL3u5. Twice, it "hung" while
performing the "Build OSCAR Client Image"
step, with no error messages
in the console window.
I backed up to
RHEL3u3 and was then able to proceed - at least to the
point of building and
booting a client. I'm stuck there now. But that's
another story ... which
I'll take up in a separate posting.
Thank you,
Richard

RHEL3 to Update 5 by using the -d flag, run rpm -Uvh on all the downloaded RPMs,
copy them to /tftpboot/rpm, and install OSCAR.
